Lovely car Andrew. 

[Hedge]

Looks sweet. 

Is that an RNS 510 with DAB?

Hedge, No mate. It's a completely different infotainment platform on the MK7 series - this is the top of the line (optional) Discover Nav Pro.

8" Screen, 64gb SSD HDD, 3d mapping with building representations, built in bluetooth with A2DP streaming (including track names, artwork, and control of track skipping via the MFSW on bluetooth). Full album art display on screen. DAB tuner with sideshow display (where the stations transmits it). built in Gracenote CD database for track recognition and display on the head unit. DVD drive with Dolby surround, Twin CD card slots. Latest MDI port which allows video playback (films and music video's) via an Iphone / Ipod onto the head unit etc.

It's quite a system. 

Cool as. 

I guess Mk3 Octavia will have a similar version.

[Norbreck21a]

Yes, it's the Columbus equivalent option on the Skoda Octavia

Stunning motor. 

[18Edition30]

Wow, now that's nice.

Good work on the detailing 

[stealthwolf]

Love the car and the colour highlights the details.

What does it feel like to drive esp with the gas pedal? What about the electronic brake?

Those brakes look tiny. Time for an upgrade?

[woahnowboys]

 

I want it.

[dmac1969]

Thats very very nice indeed , the Mk7s rear lights are lush , miles better than the 5 or 6 , and I love the new audio set up. When I saw the car cover I went "awwww" lol :) 

[Kregiel]

LOvely car!

The discs looks tiny for those alloys type! Red calipers match white pain perfectly

Looks stunning, enjoy it man! 

[Norbreck21a]

Thanks again guys. Discs do look small but are the same size as the out going GTI model at 312mm fronts and 300mm rears.

Think I'll be resisting the modding bug for the time being, as they actually feel really strong and powerful, and much better than the 288mm discs I had on the Scirocco.

Lovely motor, the mk7 interior is lightyears ahead of the 5..... (shame about the coal fired lump upfront tho...  )

Looks fantastic i was just fiddling about with the VW configurator the other day and that was pretty much the same as I came up with, I'm hoping very much that in a couple of years I'll be seriously looking at one or possibly the Gti.
